No better burger anywhere!

Litton's is a staple of the North Knoxville community of Fountain City. It has been here since like the 20's when it began as a family-owned meat market. Over the years, they started selling burgers and such, and now is a full-blown family restaraunt. The burgers are big and juicy and the fries are homemade. You won't leave hungry here!

Not only are they know for their burgers, but thier whole menu is good, especially their desserts that everybody has to take home because they've got no room left after their meal.

I told Alan about this place when he came in for the game and he was not dissapointed. Trust me, if you're ever in this area, make time to go to Litton's. Its simply the best burger around!
hey Bob no offense and maybe it's the angle of the pic but there's a hell of a lot of bread on what seems like a tiny piece of meat there dude

Ricky, come on down to K-town and try that big hunk of meat. It'll be all the meat you can handle, brother. Litton's grinds their own meat, so I love to get one medium rare. I would say 30% of the people that get one can't finish it and take the rest home. Take it from a fat guy.....there is plenty of meat on a Litton's bun!

Medium Well is your problem, brother. Why don't you just have them burn it? Real men eat RARE!

Golden Ace Inn in Indianapolis- huge skillet-fried burger. They haven't washed the skillet since they bought it! (And I've never gotten sick there either!)

Pete's Kitchen at Colfax and York (ish) is good for anything greasy and bad for you, at any time of day or 3am.

and serves a great Chicken fried steak

Fast Food?? In and Out!!!

Close second?? Carls JR..

but for a Burger joint?
Boise?? don't have one.. there are quite a few pretty good ones.
Sacramento?? Fannie Annies
Chico?? the Madison Bear Garden..
Reno?? it WAS Baliwicks.. not sure if it's there still

the best I ever had?? Jarbidge Nevada.. on the Idaho line..
those burgers were just the best.. the Cook went out and
dug the onion for the burger up fresh.. and there is an old guy that
wanders in in the afternoon and if you buy him a drink he will play a great piano..

and really? My burger at Margaritaville in Vegas was very good..
they know rare..

a double double with fries, a soda, and a chocolate shake, please.

i can't wait 'til i go to vegas in july so i can get me some in-n-out (and another t-shirt) YUMMMMMM!!!!
I would have to agree!!! Living in SO CAL my whole life and been to many many other burger joints...There is nothing better than IN N OUT!!!!!!!

Except for Fatburger

I love them both, but given the choice, I just can't resist a Double Kingburger with cheese at Fatburger. Throw an egg on there with it for some extra tasty goodness. Mmmmmmm, I'm so hungry now just thinking about it.

In downtown Port-au-Prince, there is a warehouse named Cordon Bleau. The man who owns it supplies USDA american beef to all the nice resturants in the ritzy neighborhood above Port called Petionville. Anyway, in the back of his warehouse, his mother has a cookshack set up. She serves a cheesburger made from Angus beef and good American cheese with lettuce pickles and onions all fromm America. For a Texan who lives in Haiti, this is a cheeseburger FROM paradise.

She also serves curly fries...yummmm!

There are White Castle "restaurants" in MN. You just have to know where to look.
